Informant Podcast

Well new event hits the game at the same time as about 5 other things. The crew spends a good bit of time talking about the event Lords of Lesotho.

We have a strong belief that what makes this game what is it is the people who play it. We take some time to discuss the potential of resurrecting community style mock wars., giving players a chance to really meet new players. We also spend some time discussing the issues around event fatigue and how it does force players away. It seems more and more the events for holidays seem more geared to spending (ie marketplace) and less about just doing something a little different to break the game up.

This show it is just Pistol Pete and Jen. Jana is taking a sick day.  The discussion is mainly about the stock pile of activities Zynga has once again thrown at us. We also talk in detail about a few strategies to help tackle some of these events.  We have yet another Special News report from the Rebelman. This one will explain the title.

Apologizes lead the show. Pistol Pete has several for the crew and listeners. The game is in break mode. We have several repeat events to contend with but for the most part you can take advantage, and play as you want. Jen talks some about the Zynga growth model and purchase of a mobile gaming company.

The gang is all present with Mike in the Hopper and the discussion focuses on the usual Zynga copy/paste events and bugs. Jana is proud she reached Level 10 in Robbing, Jen is mad she couldn’t access her inventory and sneaky Pete was busy removing unnecessary things from the game via the Spockholm Toolbar. There are more great game suggestions that Zynga will probably ignore but one can always hope for change.
